GREENLAND TO STRENGTHEN ITS DEFENCE AND MINING TIES WITH THE US – Government is looking for ways to cooperate with the United States
Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede says the country is looking to strengthen its defence and mining ties with the United States, albeit on its own terms, following renewed interest from the U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
Egede said his government was looking for ways to cooperate with the United States and that it was ready to start a dialog with Trump’s incoming administration, but stressed it would be up to it to decide how it should proceed.
Egede, who stated that: “Greenland’s independence is Greenland’s business, has also said that Greenland will decide what agreement is most beneficial to the country.
Egede has summoned the leaders of Greenland’s political parties to a meeting in the capital Nuuk to discuss a collective approach to the U.S. interest.
“This is the first time Greenland has been listened to in an intense way. We need to be calm and take advantage of things and stand together,” he said.
